Have you actually had an issue with buffer underruns with blurays though? I'd figure reliability should be way up, considering we now have multi-core CPUs, plus writers probably support variable speed writing that slows the write if the buffer is running out of data, plus error correction/recovery options for if it happens anyways. I'd guess vibrations, low quality discs, and loss of power would be more likely to cause a write failure than a buffer underrun these days, but maybe I have too much faith in those involved.

Maybe you're right. I've never tried burning blurays. The cost and error possibility just leaned me into using hard drives for storage. They last longer, are less likely to damage, and far cheaper. Even a used drive still has a few hundred thousand writes left, usually.
